cardiologists

The data showed that when cardiologists were away at conferences, mortality rates went down 7 percent or so.

There was a study done on survival rates of acute heart patients, and the effectiveness of cardiologists.

Aside: Cardiologists actually do not perform heart transplants or bypasses surgeries themselves, instead those are done by cardiothoracic surgeons.

Artificially keeping the number of cardiologists down, for example, drives up costs for people with heart problems.

Certain patients (those classified as 'high risk') do better when cardiologists in certain hospitals (teaching hospitals) are away at academic meetings.

And both cardiologists and pacemaker companies generally have a pretty good bead on who's walking around with which serial numbered device.

During the meetings the clinical cardiologists are mostly left in charge, and their clinical skills are better maintained, leading to better outcomes.

Those could be used to repair heart and damaged joints, but since these particular doctors are cardiologists, they want to repair hearts.

We do have research collaborations with cardiologists, but we consider them to be advisers, not officially part of the team.

At teaching hospitals, there are research cardiologists and administrative types (division chair, officers of national organizations, journal editors) in addition to plain old clinicians.

My 2 cardiologists (personal and fd ones) both say I'm lucky she was there.

Nevertheless, cardiologists have continued to carry out operations to insert "new!

It's not that it was unknown and non-obvious - it's that as each successive stent was shown not be an effective treatment, cardiologists continued to operate for decades, confident that the next "new!

Thousands of times a day, people get on treadmills in cardiologists' offices, and are taken to their physical limit with a "maximal effort stress test." Even this doesn't precipitate life-threatening complications unless cardiovascular disease is present.
